Hi! I just wanted to tell you how much I enjoyed reading “Something Borrowed, Something Blue” I want to ask this without putting pressure on you (I know how life gets) but I was wondering if you have any recent plans to continue the story. Again, if life just happens and you aren’t writing it anymore I totally understand but I really love the story and what you’re doing with the characters so I though I’d ask <3

hi! thanks so much for your message, it means the world to me. it makes me so happy that you enjoyed the story! because of the strange twists and turns of life, i wasn't able to work on it for a long time but i've recently started writing again.

SBSB is my forever girl. before i even started SBSB i had been planning to write it for five years! the first draft is from 2015. so i know that it's been a really, really long time since i updated but i want you to know that this story is very close to my heart and i'm going to finish it come hell or high water (and both those have come in the last couple of years!).

my favorite thing about this post is all the "ea nasir" in the tags. I cannot articulate how hilarious it is to me that there is a well populated "ea nasir" tag on tumblr. PLEASE imagine going back in time and telling a babylonian conman that thousands of years in the future he's going to be spoken about across the entire world using unfathomable technologies on account of how truly shitty his copper was

My plan for the public transit system is to make bus drivers into a sort of holyman whose role is cherished in society. Then we give them access to all the ecstasy they want and they're expected to take it on the job.

Hi I have a question about sbsb but no worries if you don't want to answer it! I have been wondering where Enjolras immigrated from before France became his home? Or if you are going to say later in the fic? It doesn't necessarily Matter, im just curious!

hi! thanks for the question - it's something that will come up later in the fic but i don't blame you for wondering, i probably should have addressed it at this point in the story. i changed my mind about e's home country a few chapters in, which is why i didn't mention it yet!

“The poet’s material has always been nature–human and otherwise–all objects and aspects of our outer environment as well as the ‘climate of the soul’ and the ‘theater of the emotions.’ The poet is the great antispecialist. Still possible in our overorganized, compartmentalized culture and still needed is the work and the play of the artist. As a free-floating agent, medium, and conduit–a kind of 'divining rod’–he [she] may pass anywhere–over, into, around, or through the multifold fabric of experience and present the results of his [her] singular discoveries and delights to fellow-searchers, fellow-beholders.”

— May Swenson, from “The Experience of Poetry in a Scientific Age,” Poets on Poetry, ed. Howard Nemerov (Basic Books, 1966)
